All I need to do is prove that I received the service and what I paid. My therapist assists me with this by providing me with a letter when I request one. It lists my diagnosis, her license number, the dates I attended sessions and the amount I paid. I have never been denied my payment. . . .although they take their sweet time I've been seeing her for three years and I just asked her recently if my insurance company had ever contacted her see when about she thought I might be done with therapy . . . she's never heard from them in the entire three years that I've seen her.
Of course this only works if your doctor is on the insurance company's list of providers or your insurance company doesn't have a designated list of providers (a rarity these days). Nice when it works though.
